Andrej Nikolaidis‘s latest novel is bizarre, playful and spirited, an explosion of the grotesque, ful of irony and debauchery. Anomalija is published in the UK by Peirene Press.
Translated by Will Firth with glee and precision, Anomaly evades understanding, and forgoes explanation in favour of something more mysterious and devious. Whether it makes you think of life and what you’re doing with yours, or what to make of death, or how a novel so slender can ask such crunchy questions about life, Nikolaidis prompts more questions than he cares to answer. That’s exactly why it’s so compelling.” – Daily Telegraph (UK Edition)
‘A startlingly imaginative piece of work… Anomaly stands as an outstanding testament to a frustrating, tiresome and deadly truth.’ – Charlie Connely, New European
“Nikolaidis’ very literal rendition of the Book of Revelation is unflinching, darkly humorous, and relentless in its pursuit” – Asymptote Journal
